Hollywood star Raquel Welch, who became an international sex symbol in the 1960s, has died aged 82.

Welch died on Wednesday morning after a brief illness, according to her manager.

She won a Golden Globe Award for her performance in 1974's The Three Musketeers and was nominated again in 1987 for the film Right to Die.

The American is often credited with breaking the mould for modern day action heroines in Hollywood films.

Not familiar as to many of her films.

I have seen the whatever .... 'million years BC' film.
Not that there was any real dialogue in it.

Sounds like she had a long and good career.
